Flamingos are pink because of the shrimp they eat. Flamingos that do not eat shrimp are white.
 
 
Ancient Romans ate the tongues of flamingos 
and considered them a delicacy
 
1 out of 300 people have an irrational phobia of flamingos
 
 
Flamingos feel most secure when they 
are crowded together in a group
 
 
 
Don Featherstone from Massachusetts created the pink lawn ornament in 1957. Today his company sells an average of 250,000 to 500,000 pink plastic flamingos per year.
 
There are more plastic flamingos in America than real ones
 
 
 
 
So…
 
Eat lots of shrimp to stay in the pink, travel in groups, fear no one, and bite your tongue if someone tries to sell you a pink plastic flamingo (unless you absolutely must have one)
 
 
 
 
it's just embroidery, have fun with it!
